WHAT a pleasant time these girls are having in the woods. They seem to be enjoying this nice, quiet spot. The lovely trees are shading them from the hot rays of the sun as they watch the birds hopping from tree to tree, or perhaps building their little nests and singing their songs of gladness.
If these girls love the Lord Jesus, they, too, will be thankful, and sing songs of praise to Him for all the blessings they enjoy—both for the food they have to eat, the clothing they have to wear, the house they live in and for their kind parents and friends, as well as every eternal blessing which is theirs through Christ.
When we meditate upon His great love for us— “In that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” we cannot help having our hearts go up to Him in praise and thankfulness, and then, surely, we have the desire to live for Him for the little while He may leave us here.
